about

Field recordists tend to invest the recordings they make with local specificity and the places, at which they record their sounds, with an aural identity.
When I visited the Greifswalder Oie, an island in the southern Baltic Sea, for the first time in 2008, it seemed to me that there wasn’t another place like it. I heard, with an unprecedented intensity, sounds in a density I had never experienced before.
During the following years I visited the island again and again, trying to capture its aural identity. The better I got to know the place, the more I grew conscious of the fact that nothing on it was actually truly unique. Neither the sound of the rescue vessel stationed there, nor those of the generator located at the port, of a certain hedge ruffled by high winds, of the breakers on the rocks or of the cormorant roost sound specific to someone who has not yet been on Greifswalder Oie.
And when I myself listen to my recordings, they evoke first and foremost my own moods, conditions or the particular situations connected to them.
The recordings selected here make no claim to be an acoustic portrait of the island or of its varied history and present.
